"If the Commanders were going to out-bid the Colts for [Alec] Pierce, they would have made sure Pierce's agent knew that before he re-signed with the Colts. Teams and agents talk all the time, and Pierce wouldn't have signed with the Colts just before the start of the negotiating window unless he had a very good idea of what other offers would be out there once the window officially opened."
"So while the Commanders may have wanted Pierce, that doesn't mean they would have gotten him, even if Pierce had waited long enough to let them make him an official offer."
The Washington Commanders expressed interest in wide receiver Alec Pierce, but the Indianapolis Colts acted quickly to secure him with a significant financial commitment. General manager Adam Peters attempted to pursue Pierce, but skepticism arose regarding the seriousness of the Commanders' interest. NFL analyst Michael David Smith suggested that if the Commanders intended to outbid the Colts, they would have communicated this to Pierce's agent. The situation reflects the complexities of negotiations and the timing of offers in the NFL.
